AVCHD to AVI simple gui (alpha)

[dies-irae]

Hello to all,

I've started coding a simple drag and drop gui for batch converting AVCHD files to avi. Havent found one, but if there is, ill be happy to stop :D

it all started from this post http://forum.videohelp.com/topic347139.html from which i got the basic batches.
I wrote it mostly for the people in my lab who hardly will ever want to know what Avisynth is.

If you care to try it out and let me know the major flaws and bugs i'll try to improve it!


I'm using avisynth, dgavcdecode and ffmpeg (basically i'm just writing down the batches and running them) and QT for the interface

Interface looks like this:

you can find it here:

it "should" work on windows xp, no idea if it works on vista.


To setup export formats, i've put a "formats.cfg" file, it's a simple file with a serie of couples of format names and ffmpeg options (open the file in notepad to see more details)

My export to mpeg2 crashes ffmpeg, but i'm a complete noob with ffmpeg so if you can tell me how to do that properly i'll be eager to correct it!


It's VERY ALPHA so be gentle :p


*EDIT*
added support for files in different folders and removing of files (just select them and hit delete).

You're distributing my tools in violation of the GPL license. Since I haven't yet released source code, you can't comply and therefore cannot distribute the tools yet. Nevertheless, I will grant you special permission to do so if you include a text file in your ZIP that explains that and points to my web site. Otherwise, I do not grant you license to distribute my copyrighted tools. Thank you.

Sorry!
I truly apologize, it is far from my intention to infringe your license!
(This is work i've done this afternoon and i havent gotten to the point of packaging things properly yet.)

added a readme! And thanks!

Thank you for your understanding and support of the open-source community. My AVC tools are still in alpha and when I move to a beta I'll publish my source code and then we can regularize the situation. Again, thank you.

So if I get a canon HF100 camcorder which records to sd card in a AVCHD format and than use this utility to convert to AVI, I will be able to burn it on a dvd playable disc?

You can do that directly with the latest versions of ConvertXtoDVD. No need for an intermediate codec like Xvid.
